At Bunnies - R - Us we do more than bunny adoptions. We have grown significantly in the rescue area over the past few years since the growth of abandoned bunnies has come to a higher need. Established in 2019, I made it my mission to tend to the unwanted and hurt bunnies. I was raised with bunnies and have 45 years of experience. Because of health issues, I was able to stay home and make it my mission to help the bunnies in need. We offer multiple services such as grooming, selling used products, bunny therapy, boarding and educational classes on how to raise a bunny. www.bunniesrusrabbitry.com , Bunniesrusrabbitry@hotmail.com

Pet Tales Rescue: Hi, I’m Flossy! I am a 6-year-old lab mix with beautiful, shiny black and white fur. I came up from Alabama a few months ago and I love it here!

I’m housebroken, rarely ever bark, non-destructive when alone, and am very easy-going. I enjoy a nice walk followed by some relaxation time with my people and fur-siblings. I would fit best in a calmer lifestyle with a family that appreciates my laidback demeanor. Could that be you?

C-SNIP: Summer brings flea/tick and heartworm season. C-SNIP staff are passionate about the health and happiness of pets, and we want to remind you that it is time to schedule your pet’s wellness visit. Make sure your pets are up-to-date on their vaccines, heartworm testing, and are getting their flea/tick/heartworm preventatives. Scheduling your cat or dog’s wellness appointment is easy with our online appointment portal at csnip.org. Or you can call (616) 455-8220 to schedule over the phone. If you get voice mail, please leave a message and we will call you back.

West Michigan Ferret Connection: Keep your ferret cool this summer! Ferrets overheat easily in temps over 80 degrees (ideal temp is 60-80 degrees). They don’t sweat so they can’t lower their body temperature like dogs do when they pant. If your ferret acts tired or lethargic during hot weather, it’s a warning sign. Air conditioning is ideal but not directly on their cage. A quick, easy fix is to freeze plastic bottles with water and place them in the cage or where your ferret likes to sleep or hang out. Wrap bottles in fabric so your ferret can’t chew through them.
